Instant Classic: Miracle Love – Matt Corby

 


And we were grown on the same round little blue dot
Although the answers will take their time and the spinning won’t stop
So could it be that the nightmare is upon us
And heavy hearts can’t decide when they’ve had enough
So they’re burning out cold?
Ooh, it’s a steady fall from the pinnacle to the bedrock
And so we set out to bring back that miracle love
I said I’d never do you harm but I was wrong
It’s so hard to believe but I barely can see where we came from
We got carried away
All the love that I was blind to
And I made my mistakes
And I laid them all beside you
We got carried away
So much love that I was blind to
And I made my mistakes
And you put them all behind you
Can we bring back that miracle love?
Can we bring back that miracle love?
Ooh and I would guess that we’re losing sight of the right way
Another ending is in my mind
I doubt talking’s gonna do much for it
Ooh, and someday, someday
A long time from now
We’ll be remembered as the ones who couldn’t hold it down
Who couldn’t fight back for it
We got carried away
All the love that I was blind to
And I made my mistakes
And I laid them all beside you
We got carried away
So much love that I was blind to
And I made my mistakes
Would you put them all behind you?
Can we bring back that miracle love?
Won’t you bring back that miracle love? Ooh
Oh, can we bring back that miracle love?
Oh, bring back that miracle love
Bring back that miracle love
Bring back that miracle love

Monty Alexander VibeZ

There is a moment on almost every Monty Alexander record where the jazz piano trio stops behaving like a jazz piano trio and starts behaving like a Kingston sound system. That moment is the whole point. Fifty tracks deep, this is the sound of a man who never asked permission to be two things at once. The pianist who brought Kingston to the Carnegie stage Monty Alexander was born in Kingston, Jamaica in 1944, and by his teens he was already gigging around the island — close enough to the birth of ska and rocksteady to have absorbed it in his bones rather than learned it from records. He moved to the United States in 1961, and the origin story that follows is the kind that sounds invented: Frank Sinatra heard him playing in a Miami club, and Jilly Rizzo, Sinatra's friend and club owner, put him behind the piano at Jilly's in New York. From there Alexander fell in with Milt Jackson and Ray Brown, two of the most demanding rhythm partners in the music, and never really ...

Kashif VibeZ

Kashif is the reason a lot of 1980s R&B sounds the way it does — and the reason you can hear the difference between a synth bassline played by someone who understood bass and one programmed by someone who didn't. This is a producer's playlist, and the producer is everywhere. The architect of the synthesized soul record Kashif was born Michael Jones in Brooklyn in 1956, raised in foster care, and taught himself music young enough that by his teens he was touring with B.T. Express. What he did next reshaped a decade. In the early 1980s, as a producer, arranger and multi-instrumentalist, he was among the first to build R&B records around programmed synthesizers — the Minimoog bass, the Linn drum machine, the Fairlight — without letting them sound cold. That distinction matters. Plenty of producers adopted the new gear; Kashif made it groove . His basslines are played with the phrasing of a funk bassist, full of slides and ghost notes, which is why rec...

De La Soul VibeZ (R.I.P Trugoy the Dove)

Trugoy the Dove died in February 2023, weeks before De La Soul's catalogue finally reached streaming after a fifteen-year legal deadlock. Thirty-one tracks, and a difficult kind of timing. Rest in peace, Dave David Jude Jolicoeur — Trugoy the Dove, later just Dave — formed De La Soul in Amityville, Long Island with Posdnuos and Maseo. Their 1989 debut 3 Feet High and Rising , produced with Prince Paul , remains one of the most inventive records in the history of the genre: dense with samples from Steely Dan to Johnny Cash to French language instruction tapes, funny, formally strange, and entirely uninterested in the postures rap was expected to strike. The consequence of that invention was a curse. The sample clearance landscape changed after Gilbert O'Sullivan sued Biz Markie in 1991, and De La Soul's early catalogue — built on hundreds of uncleared fragments — became legally impossible to license. For roughly fifteen years, their most important a...
